Good post.

Not sure about our offense

Umm right now our back court is Kidd and brewer. How the heck does our offense don't improve with 2 penetrating guards, who also can hit the open shot???

+1

agreed. this team is not supposed to be rolling out a Kidd/Brewer backcourt for heavy minutes.

Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please

I dont really agree the knicks were pretty sloppy at times. woody left novak in there every time we had a lead and then the lead evaporated. the defense once again let us down

Its very concerning. Celtics also played mind games with Melo to make it even worse. We really shoulda had this.

I hear you, but the problem has more to do with our defense and our PG play. Prig, is absolutely trash. Once he comes into the games he gets pressed to death, and start making stupid decisions. Him and Novak are liabilities on both ends they are in the game.

Celts won when they penetrated Melo's mind.

Garnett tuned him out and Melo kept yapping, and missing shots.

Then Pierce did his thing.

NYMentality, You wait until 10:15 to feed the family?

C'mon Melo...waiting outside the Celtics locker room?
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

Dude, stfu. You called that PP will rip our hearts out? That is just so wrong on so many levels. Do yourself and everyone else here a favor, please. Retire from posting, really, you should at least think about it.

This was winnable game, Garnett made Starmelo his bitch. We let the Celts take us out of the game emotionally, and we still have no recognizable offense.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

As I said earlier, Boston held the last two opponents to under 80 so I wouldn't call it an aberration, and as Hersports pointed out we're short handed.

I don't like Chuck-Melo. He could have really change the game with his passing but no. Terrible game. He is allowed a few but dang do other things if you are not on.

Woody needs to know that you can not switch against Boston and figure out how to deal with the zone the Celtics ran at times.

I remember some of the tough game moments from last year and Shump comes to mind on most of those. I'm hoping he comes back like Bradley has and changes the whole defensive culture of the team. Our defense is above average now but if Shump is Shump we will be fine. I also hope the refs give Shump as much respect as they do bradley.

Loses happen in the NBA, that's basketball for the clueless one's.

Off to make some dinner for the family while the likes of TKF run wild and celebrate our loss.

23-11. Still 2nd place of the entire Eastern Conference.

Now go cry me a river negative critics.

you still don't get it: it's not THAT you lose it's HOW you lose.... just like it's not THAT you win it's HOW you win.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
